Project Background
The I-405 Sepulveda Pass Pavement Rehabilitation Project spans a 10.2-mile segment of the freeway. It involves replacing two lanes in each direction from Victory Boulevard to Mulholland Drive, with a focus on improving safety and mobility along this vital corridor connecting Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley.
Initiated in 2025, the project is projected to conclude by winter 2028-2029. As construction progresses, intermittent closures like those occurring this week will continue to affect traffic in the area.
